This was my first time coming here as I used to go to Pet’s Paradise which recently closed, but getting my dog groomed here was a very positive experience. I feel like this was a definite upgrade. The staff was really friendly, my dog looked show worthy afterward! Will be coming back for a long time.

I've gone here a few times in the past, but then we started having our dog groomed mobily. With everything getting so expensive, we are now back to Superior. It looks like there's been a change of hands, but staff looks familiar and shop looks a little cleaned up. Prices are the same and they did a good job on…

Wonderful groomers! Cuts are great and my dogs are always really happy after their grooming. I’ve taken one of my dogs to another groomer in town and he was extremely traumatized afterwards. Not an issue here. Also love that they are in the neighborhood and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg! Very reasonably priced.

I have two senior dogs with long double coats. The groomer did a bath and feet/sani trim. She is really fast, does a great job, and my dogs don't seem super stressed after leaving (they usually are after leaving other groomers).

Hello Dana, so sorry you weren't satisfied with your service. Would you like to bring your dog back in to have adjustments made. We always welcome the opportunity to ensure you're happy with your dog's haircut. Please give us a call if you're interested. Thank you. Also, please note we have the lowest price in the area so I'm sorry if the service doesn't fit your budget, we'd be happy to discuss options that are more aligned with a price point that works for you.

I've gone here a few times in the past, but then we started having our dog groomed mobily. With everything getting so expensive, we are now back to Superior. It looks like there's been a change of hands, but staff looks familiar and shop looks a little cleaned up. Prices are the same and they did a good job on our golden doodle, who at eight, can still be rambunctious. Posting a picture of said rambunctiousness. Will update post before with before and after next time I have her groomed.

superiour pet grooming in Sacramento treated my pet aggressively, mean and unfriendly. I will not ever go there again. Already found a much better pet groomer. I DO NOT RECCOMEND superior pet grooming. **Response To The Businesses Response To My Review** Acting like I am not a real customer??? So ridiculous and unprofessional. I 100% for sure visited your business. Your business is located in the same shopping center as the Grocery Outlet store. I was a regular customer but NOT ANYMORE! pets are treated with care, patience, and respect at all times??? Your review history shows a history of being aggressive, mean and unfriendly to pets. There are alot of pet groomers in Sacramento. I already found a new and better pet groomer. TREAT PETS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH RESPECT AND KINDNESS AND YOU WONT HAVE TO RESPOND TO REVIEWS.

Response from the owner · 8 months ago

Making serious claims without any supporting details or evidence can be very concerning and potentially damaging to a small business like ours. WE ARE UNABLE TO VERIFY THIS REVIEW, as we have no record of a client experience matching this description. Our stuff is professionally trained and we maintain strict handling standards to ensure pets are treated with care, patience, and respect at all times. We stand behind the quality of our work and the trust our long-term clients place in us.
